Mission
The Specialist Degree in Instructional Technology (Ed.S.) emphasizes one
of two tracks: either the School Library Media (SLM) program or the preparation of Technology Coordinators.
For SLM, Ed.S programs are available for certified and uncertified candidates, leading in both
cases to S6 certification.
Objectives
The
Specialist degree provides individuals with advanced skills
necessary to function in an instructional leadership role
within K-12 schools and school systems and to cope with today's
changing technologies as school-based technology managers.
The
Specialist degree provides opportunities for students to:
-
Expand
their knowledge and skill in the design, production,
and use of media and materials; information services;
and the organization, evaluation, and administration
of media services developed at the master's level of
certification.
-
Develop
skills in leadership, supervision, and group dynamics.
-
Apply
skills in planning, developing, and evaluating instructional
strategies and resources.
